11:00 am
♪ penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes ♪ >> here is a deal for you. the uss forest sold for a penny. the texas medals company is the new owner. it will dismantle and recycle that ship. we have to run. >> see you then. >> today on the real story. first time on fox. the guy who went on youtube remember him? confessed to killing a man joins us live from jail. and contractor behind the train wreck obama care website pointed fingers and a lot of blame. he will get real. geraldo rivera pointing fingers. and the honor code really?
11:01 am
hi, welcome. lawmakers trying to get to the bottom of what went wrong with the roll out that reportedly cost a staggering $1 million why the administration decided at the last minute to not allow the ecommerce of window shopping which overloaded that part of the site and exposed problems. you are telling every american if you sign up to this or attempt to that is a direct contradiction of hippa and you know it. >> that is a cm axcms call that not a contractor call. >> this was good tv ed. come on. they said they had nothing to do with anything right? >> sure, they were trying to
11:02 am
point the finger at the administration. kathleen sebilius was invited to testify today and chose not to do that. instead she is in phoenix at a call center trying to do a photo opthere. she is expected to testify next week on the hill. she will get her turn at bat and that will be interesting tv as you say as well. the bottom line is that she's contractors repeatedly said that they had warned the administration and the white house that there had not been enough tests and they needed an extension beyond october 1st, but someone in the administration decided to move forward any wi. that constracter said hhs is the quarterback of this and is
11:03 am
respor responsibilit responsibility. i just pressed jay carney bit. >> ultimately is the hhs secretary responsible, is the president responsible? >> the president spoke clearly from the rose garden about the fact that he is wholly unsatisfied. >> i have said this is on us. and that going from the president on down. this was needs to work effectively for the american people. >> the challenge is that they do not just have republicans complaining about the website and the law, they have increasing democrats like senator bill nelson. he said that somebody somewhere should be fired. there has been more pressure at this hearing that you saw. a democrat in california was suggesting how in the world could this roll out not have gone smoothly when they knew
11:04 am
that it was so important to the president's agenda? >> you keep speaking about unexpected volumes miss campbell. and that sticks in my crawl i have to tell you that. as i said, there are thousand ands of websites that carry far more traffic. i think that is a lame excuse. amazon and ebay don't crash the week before christmas and proflowers doesn't crash the week before valentine's day. >> now all of a sudden we are seeing opposition to the mandate which is the holy grail to the law the mechanism to pay for it. you have the the gentlemen from west virginia telling fox and others that he is writing language to delay it up to a year. there are senators saying they
11:05 am
want a tweak to the law extending the enrollment deadline. it is mountain. ed henry, so much information. he has founded two it companies, big johnson joins me now. who is responsible? >> the buck stops with the president i wouldn't have kept my job if this was the
11:06 am
performance that i had to deliver. >> what they were testifying to today, somewhere asked them a week out to change this browsing system where people could shop and see what prices they could be paying for health care. would that change be enough to crash and burn this system as it did? >> you don't make changes days before you are expecting to go live. what is very, very clear is either these developers or contractors did not follow a rigorous discipline which calls into question their capabilities
11:07 am
the problem is that they ignored what the contractor said. they didn't start testing this thing fully. the testing until two weeks prior to going live with the system on october first. that is a recipe for failure. if 55 contractors couldn't build this system and run it, why should we believe that the administration can fix this website? >> it can't be fixed. impushing the president to find spending cuts and offsets. my prediction, it is going to cost a lot more than what he has already spent. that is hard earned taxpayor
11:08 am
dollars and it is not fair to the american people. >> one of the contractors admitted that he tried to go online and sign up and even he couldn't get the job done? >> were you shocked? >> i was absolutely shocked and shocked at the number of non answers. one cheryl campbell from cbi said that she never said that it was sleerly in their contract that they were supposed to provide reports. so there is a lot of finger pointing going on here. clearly she has a lot of questions to answer and the president has to account. >> and that is my final question. what did she know and why did
11:09 am
she choose to go live with the system and wave hundreds of millions of tax pay are door do why not delay the system until they can certify that it is ready to go? >> thank you for your time. thank you. >> health and human services secretary taking lots of heat with the website. but refusing to testify before several committees saying she is too busy. last night she was in boston and today she took a jet to phoenix, arizona where she is checking out a health care call center. republicans say she is stone walling. her office says she will testify in front of a different committee. the technology needed for the president's health care plan

11:17 am
the public and we need more than five months. i would support a six month extension so that we can get problems right educate the public and get them engaged. real talk today he is going along with this growing list of democrats. i thought delay was a dirty word on capitol hill. >> there wouldn't be a government shut down. we shade let they'll be a delay and what did democrats say? no. democrats shut down government by not taking the republican's advice and giving the extension. the hand writing was on the wall get the president shut the government down and for what? >> we are going to have an
11:18 am
extension he's right isn't he? >> this is a hip pocksy is it not? that is why this government shut down. >> that is a wonderful spin. the government shut down because speaker john boehner refused to pass all of these attachments. >> we said delay. the last offer. >> preez brlease brad be honest. >> the last deal was to delay it. >> and we are now having a real conversation about delaying, i should say extending the enrollment period. >> it puts pressure on the administration. it should be extended so we are going to have to produce it or feel he the wrath of the voters. the president really tried to shift this to immigration
11:19 am
reform. new poll says the government is likely to secure the border if it passes immigration reform. >> today i'm here with leaders from business, labor, faith communities who are united around one goal. finishing the job of fixing a broken immigration system. >> bernard a lot of d words today, distraction? >> this is a gift to republicans. the republicans need a win here and the economy needs a win. this bill has bipartisan senate support. it would pass with background checks that have to pay penalties and learn english. it would strengthen the economy and grow the economy by $1.4 trillion over four years. this is a win win. >> here is the problem. some of the key republicans that
11:20 am
were behind this i'm talking about senator rubio, the way that they feel they were treated, they say no can do, brad? >> no can do and here is why. the president has to show his good faith before we discuss anything else. we can start the discussions but there shouldn't be any votes. there is not going to be reform until those two matters are completed. >> i have to wrap it there. thank you so much. >> matthew cordel the man who confessed to killing a man while drunk driving in a video is going to join me live next from inside the jail. next you don't want to miss it.

we have confirmation from the navy that the shooting did happen on property. these are live pictures coming to us from fox 13. there is a reporter on scene giving new details who has reported to the memphis audience which happened at a support facility. one employee left the building and came out and went to his car, got a gun and began shooting. navy brass on scene. the base was on lock down. it is our understanding that there is some movement now.

how this went down, disciplinary action led to a shooting. >> high drama at a murder trial. a prominent doctor accused of killing his wife so he can have an affair with a younger woman. and trace gallagher is live. >> reporter: two of the adult sisters believe the father killed the mother by giving her a lethal doze of medication in april of 2007. it was the younger daughter who discov discovered her mom fully clothed. martin mckneel told first responders his wife was draped over the side of the tub with her head in the water. the defense is the
11:34 am
younger daughter should not be allowed to testify because she was coached by her older sister. here are prosecutors now questioning that older sister. listen. >> did you ever prepare aida for what she told you or what she exhibited on the diagram? >> prepared? no. no, i never did. >> another word might be suggest to her what she should do. >> no, i just said draw what you remember. >> and the defense alleges that she began asking the younger sister questions before charges were filed in 2012. the younger daughter's testimony is key because the autopsy appears to support her version of events and not the father's. the prosecution alleges that he killed his wife because he was
11:35 am
trying to continue his alleged afire with that woman gypsy wilson. >> we've seen continued persecution and killings of christian minorities in egypt. now a new report from the liberty institute shows a sharp increase in incidence of religious hostility in recent years. let's bring in our faith panel. reclaiming the american christian spirit and bill donna who president of the catholic league. do you believe that hostility has doubled in the last year? >> there is no question that during the obama administration that there has been a anti-tilt
11:36 am
that -- let me give you examples. in the military we have people who are speaking to young cadets and telling them that the extremists that they have to look after and be concerned about are evangelical christians. janet nepolitano spoke a few years ago about the dangers of catholics so we see this happ happening. >> seniors at senior citizen's centers can't pray before meals. do you agree with the rabbi? >> i agree with him but it is worse than that i would say. i have been doing this job for 20 years. the largest section used to be the media but now it is government. an hour ago i put up on my
11:37 am
website where a professor compared priests to feces. i'm asking for something to be done about the situation. last night they took a swipe at priests calling them molesters. when it comes to the government that is worse. when you have the heavy happend the administration at work and redefining what a catholic or organization is, it is pretty bad. i would assume as an atheist on the panel that you are not as concerned that christians are being persecuted or maybe you are. >> there is a difference between purbetween persecuting christians and religion itself. there is nothing wrong with criticizing an idea.
11:38 am
that is different from criticizing an idea. >> it is okay to say priests equal feces? >> it is criticism. what would happen if they chose another religion. >> why don't they choose islam? >> they could. but they don't. why? >> i think we know. >> the obama administration is using the institutions in this country to demonize christians of faith. and they are always apologizing for anything islamic. they are saying america is not a christian country and then he says we have to recognize the great contributions to america. there is an attempt here to minimize christianity and minimize it. >> the air force academy now

11:40 am
get to happen for everybody. >> there has to be tolerance for what the majority feels it has inspired more americans they have done things that are heroic because they are doing it in the name of god. what about our freedom to express ourself. >> here is what bugs me. it always seems that people need to opt out. the majority need to opt out for one person. why shouldn't we have it that that one person opts out and that majority opts in. >> this thing is mikey weinstein. in 2005 the air force academy
11:41 am

the lead contractors for the bumbled obama care website pointing fipoint ing fingers saying it wasn't their responsibility to make sure the website worked. did you see anything different today. what was your analysis of what you saw? >> i saw an attempt to put the blame on cms. and they are the system integrator. but imagine that you are selling bicycles and you have a supplier that sells wheels and the frame and the handle bars. if the wheel supplier gives you square wheels. indeed you are selling a bike with square wheels but that
11:46 am
doesn't eliminate the wheel provider. but cgi did produce the code that caused the problems. >> where do you lay the blame with regard to the government? is that the way that it works in the real world should they have resourced that roll out? >> i think the government can't avoid being theministratoadmini. the problem is that unlike private industry where you fly by the seat of the pants many times the government has 6,000 page regulations. these regulations were written ten years ago. our technology changes every six
11:47 am
months. >> what about the claim that we heard that there was such a high volume of people that, that is why it crashed do you buy that? >> there were 8 million people in the first week. google has 8 billion people in the first week. the system is not designed to handle the volume. but it should have been designed to handle the volume. what about requiring users to register their personal information online. could that last minute change have caused the system to crash and burn as it did? >> i don't think so. i think the crash and burn was caused by an inherant architecture. the user's computer is used for
